You know there's a way to change this setting that's annoying you. There just has to be. But, where do you go to find that menu? What could it be called? Why isn't there a search for these things? Well, there is with Android 5.0 Lollipop. You just need to know how to get to it.
This search is isolated from other files, so you don’t have to worry about getting results from possible similarly titled pictures or videos.
